I Was Powerless To Do Anything!

We had a power outage of unknown nature today about three minutes after I posted my joke of the day, roughly 10:30 AM EST. It just came back up about 5:10 PM EST. Try as you may, you can't see words typed on a keyboard hooked up to a powerless computer. The next section of "Johnny Robot" will come... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer (Tip of the hat to Kenny Rogers)

Title continued - The song the title was taken from was sung by Kenny Rogers and Kim Carnes) Song writers are authors too! Due to things going on here at home, I sent my nephew up to the new place to do the work I intended to do.He's half my age, so he should get it done a little quicker anyway. The...

It's Late - I'm Crazy

Realizing that this is a very raw file and subject to a later rewrite and editing, "Johnny Robot" my latest effort is a work of love, and my first effort since grinding to a halt back in late December. I had decided to go to bed early tonight, but my darn fingers began to itch, and that itch... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Flight of Fancy

'The moving finger writes, have having writ, moves on.' So said some philosopher type guy named Omar Khayyam sometime around 1050. Less cryptically, I guess it means I've righted my personal ship and am ready to move on. I have to address some publishing questions with "The Totally Unnecessary... Sign in to see full entry.

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (Tip of the hat to 'Star Trek')

It's difficult for me to even fathom that I haven't written a 'useful' word toward a story in about two weeks. December 29th was the date I see on my list of 'works in progress.' That's pure craziness in my world and maybe the reason I feel like the way I do right now. 'The way I feel right now.'... Sign in to see full entry.

Boys Make Excuses, Men Make Changes

For personal reasons, I am concluding my postings here. Toward the end of January, I will remove my stories and other postings and not renew my subscription. Of course, the question will always be "Why?" I can't really explain it properly and thus, it's better to just say, "It's personal." Way back... Sign in to see full entry.

Holy Crow!

Well, I'm glad my self imposed mission to be out and about with my friends, spreading smiles and good cheer, I'm home for the rest of the weekend. Sadly, I've found out that while I was spreading good cheer, someone was spreading a nasty cold germ. This fat guy doesn't feel good and is gonna head to... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's To 2017

A few weeks back, I posted that I would spend the last days of December 2016 doing 'Random Acts of Kindness.' or 'RAK's.' My Father instilled that in me and old habits die hard. I've spent the last couple days visiting older folks who don't get out much or don't have families. Big Bad Brutus went... Sign in to see full entry.

Write On!

As I've blathered on and on about endlessly, I got my weekly report email from Grammarly, and this one gave me my "Year In Review" report. No, I don't have stock in the place, I just find this app a wonderful place to clean up my writing. Many times, people will ask me what I do all day. I write,... Sign in to see full entry.

One From Column A or One From Column B?

I'm at the point of starting one or another storyline I've held in abeyance until I finished "The Totally Unnecessary Death." I've done that and have a conflicting allegiance to what I want to do next. Guide me, please. I have another 'crime story' about a subject that actually is a serious problem...
